Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Nov. 26, 2024, 8:31 a.m.
Overall Rationale: I try to avoid Poll Inertia by not doing preseason polls and doing a complete re-ranking every week. I don't look at my previous poll or previous full poll or AP poll until after I've already set my top 25 and honorable mentions, and even then, its only to check that I didn't forget a team. That does mean I am susceptible to one week overreactions or forgetting a team here and there. Others considered: Kansas State, Syracuse, Duke, Illinois, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas A&M, don't play Mercer and Wofford in November.
